Tissue engineering (TE) is critical in oral and craniofacial reconstruction. One of the most
popular topics on the biomaterial-based tissue regeneration process may be the interaction …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are an important component of the extracellular matrix as they
influence cell behavior and have been sought for tissue regeneration, biomaterials, and …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as a scaffold for cells and plays an essential role in
regulating numerous cellular processes, including cell migration and proliferation. Due to …

The natural extracellular matrix (ECM) within tissues is physically contracted and remodeled
by cells, allowing the collective sha** of functional tissue architectures. Synthetic materials …

With the increased awareness about the importance of the composition, organization, and
stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) for tissue homeostasis, there is a renewed need to …

Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces in fibrous extracellular matrices (ECMs)
over distances much greater than their size. This phenomenon, termed long-range force …
